Prevent us, Lord, in all our doings, with Thy most gracions favour; and further us with Thy continual help; that in all our works begun, continued and ended in Thee, we may glorify Thy Holy Name; and finally, by Thy mercy, obtain everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all works of piety and charity do proceed, we beseech Thee to visit with Thy favour our Sovereign Lady, Queen Victoria, and so rule her heart, that she may in all things seek Thy honour and glory. Prosper with Thy blessing the designs of this Society. Comfort with Thy grace those benefactors who contribute to its support. Bless the ministry of Thy servants the Clergy; the endeavours of all who are engaged in spread- ing the knowledge of true religion in the dominions of our Sovereign, and the labors of those Missionaries who are pro- claiming the same in this Province. And may Thy Holy Spirit direct all our consultations to trhe advancement of Thy glory, and the good of Thy Church, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that Thou hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but that he should be converted and live: have mercy upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels and Heretics, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contemnt of Thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to Thy flock, that they may be saved among the remnant of the true Israel- ites, and be made one fold under one Shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy ^Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen. Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done on eaith as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. AT CLOSE. The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with uu all evermore. Amen. •r 3;'' (■■I'll III ,-J CONSTITUTION. I.
